So..... we've all used words like 'rez' in conversations, without necessarily thinking as to whether the other person might actually know what we're talking about.
I was thinking of making a notecard to give to new users containing a lot of common SL words and expressions that may otherwise confuse them, and would appreciate some assistance because there are no doubt many I haven't heard myself.
If you have any, please reply, preferably with a definition because I may not know them either!

* sim crossing/border crossing
* push (speaking of griefers) * SB (sandbox) * prim <anything> (i.e. prim hair or prim shoes) * anim * shiny (and all that entails )* time dilation Some of what I added might *seem* too basic, but you'd be suprised how many newbies don't understand a word as common as even "fps". Also, having to explaining the difference between regular clothing/hair/shoes/etc and prim clothing/hair/shoes/etc is pretty common, and more difficult to explain to someone that knows nothing about SL than you'd think. |

Great Idea
03-24-2006 07:49
I think this is a great idea. Yeah I know they have an SL Glossary.....but it is not up-to-date and is missing a lot of the acronyms and jardon being used today in SL.
A few that come to mind are: erm atm |

A few that come to mind are: erm atm my duh question of the day: does "erm" have a different meaning than "erm...what do you mean?" or have I been saying it forever not knowing what I'm saying? _____________________
